Encouragement for Every Reason & Season

"There's beauty in anticipation, but extraordinary beauty in staying a while!"

"A meaningful life is not built by constantly chasing the next thing," shares Daune Pitman at Cottage in The Oaks. "But by learning to be deeply present within the life already in front of you. There's beauty in anticipation, but extraordinary beauty in staying a while."

Moses knew a little about this as he stopped what he was doing, and went to investigate a burning bush in the desert that was not being consumed. Click here to learn more about being a woman who listens to God and sits at the Savior's table.

“Burning bushes are noticed by people who pause."

Sharon Jaynes

"The whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders:

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

You call forth songs of joy. You crown the year with Your bounty."

Psalm 65

they shout for joy and sing."
